Guest essay by Eric Worrall Discovery has a theory as to why we haven’t discovered evidence of intelligent alien civilisations; According to Discovery, the handful of planets which have just the right characteristics for life to thrive, are eventually destroyed by a technological environmental cataclysm. Why Can’t We Find Aliens? Climate Change Killed Them As…

Guest post by David Middleton Featured image borrowed from here. If you can set aside the smug, snide remarks of the author, this article does a fairly good job in explaining why the surface station temperature data have to be adjusted and homogenized. There is just one huge problem… Without the adjustments and homogenization,…

Guest essay by M.S.Hodgart (Visiting Reader Surrey Space Centre University of Surrey) A feature of the politicised debate – if such it may be called – over AGW (anthropogenic global warming) and so-called ‘climate change’- is the tendency on both sides to cite only the evidence supporting their views and to ignore what does…

Steve McIntyre always told us to “watch the pea under the thimble” when it comes to climate change pronouncements, this is one of those cases. Yesterday, to much media fanfare, wailing, and gnashing of teeth NOAA pronounced that 2015 was the hottest year on record, ever! There’s only one problem with that…the Internet never forgets. Back…

From the CO2 solubility curve and the Captain Obvious department comes this press release that leaves us wondering if this isn’t just lip service to justify a grant: How ocean acidification and warming could affect the culturing of pearls AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Pearls have adorned the necklines of women throughout history, but some evidence suggests that…

From the “linear thinking doesn’t follow reality” department, comes this stunning revelation that sounds pretty much just like every other press release about climate we’ve ever read. Plus, they’ve got a map! A new study puts temperature increases caused by CO2 emissions on the map Concordia research findings can be used to show the impact…

Guest essay by Eric Worrall Once again global business leaders at Davos have gone off narrative, by failing to identify “climate change” as their number one priority; instead voicing concerns about “over regulation” and economic issues. Climate change fails to top list of threats for business leaders at Davos Geopolitical uncertainty, over-regulation and cyber attacks…

Guest Post by Bob Tisdale NOAA revised their global surface temperature product in June 2015 to show more global warming during the post-1998 period. Those data manipulations supposedly ended the slowdown in global warming over that period. The changes to NOAA’s global ocean surface temperature product were the primary cause of the NOAA’s hiatus-disappearing act.…

By Larry Kummer. From the Fabius Maximus website. Summary: This post looks at an often asked question about climate science — how accurate are its findings, a key factor when we make decisions about trillions of dollars (and affecting billions of people). Specifically, it examines the oceans’ heat content, a vital metric since the oceans…
